Whatta Day This was my day: I received a 7:30 AM call at home regarding a work crisis. I was fifteen minutes late to an 8:00 AM meeting because of my 7:30 AM crisis call and because our driveway was blocked for five minutes because a giant snowgrader was spinning brodies in our cul de sac. I missed two other meetings at 8:30 AM because my late starting 8:00 AM meeting ran way way way late. I get back up to my office at 9:30 AM and my secretary informs me that there was yet another apartment fire up on Government Hill Not five minutes later, I receive a call from Channel 11 news asking for an interview regarding the fire. I zoom up to the Hill. Do my interview in front of our giant red albatross homeland security gate. Zoom back to work. Deal with two more crises within 15 minutes. Zoom off to my urologist's office where we check out the status of my interstim implant. And yes, after 25 minutes of reprogramming and several electric jolts to the ol' sensitive zone, it is determined, that yes indeedy, it has moved again. sigh...Surgery is again my near term future. Me and my zotzed senstive zones scurry home to take Clem for a walk in the Arctic afternoon. Zoom back to work. Do another media interview on the fire. Attend two more meetings and run a third meeting that goes until 5:30 PM Get home at 6:30 PM. The Ski Boy and I head off to the Bear Tooth for some serious decompression beer! whew! 9:35:55 PM    comment []

Da Weather So. Today's high was 18 above. The low was 2 below zero. It wouldn't be so bad - it could just be an abberation - except for we've got over three feet of snow on the ground and the temperature just keeps dropping. This is winter! Actually, though, it's odd. Here's how it always works in Alaska: It is warm and light at the same time - summer. It is dark and cold at the same time - the other nine months of the year. It is never warm and dark at the same time - a normal summer anywhere else. It is never ever light and cold at the same time We're all dumb founded. We now have over 13 hours of daylight per day. And yet it's below zero. This just does not compute. 9:19:31 PM    comment []
